Trump is helping Russia to not only justify but pay for the military build up of the Russian military for the eventual war with the U.S.

By being aggressive towards Russia and thus a perceived threat to Russia, Trump is helping Putin to justify the build up the Russian military to perform the first strike in the war with the U.S. That is, if Joel Skousen is right.

While the communist (democrats and neocons) in the U.S. have been aiding Russia directly in the build up of resources for war. The Trump administration by not meeting with and demonizing Russia have created a new cold war that gives the Russians the money necessary through inflated oil and gas prices to invest in war.

Then there is Trump driving China and Russia together in opposition to the U.S.
